FHI sees signs that COVID-19 infection rates are stabilizing, but at the same time there is a clear decrease in the number of people being tested.
According to the latest weekly report for week 47, 135,720 people have been tested, a 16 percent decrease from the previous week.
– We don’t really know why, section chief Karoline Bragstad told Nettavisen on Friday in the section on influenza and other airborne infections at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health.
The proportion of consultations for COVID-19 in doctor’s offices, emergency rooms and test stations has stabilized between 11 and 12 percent in the last three weeks.
FHI Director Camilla Stoltenberg was at the corona situation press conference on Wednesday that the decline in the number of infections may be related to fewer people getting tested.
After a significant increase in infection in recent months, first slowly and then rapidly, the National Institute of Public Health saw fewer new cases of infection in week 47 for the first time in a long time than the previous week.
– In week 47, the number was lower for the first time than the previous week. This is the first time since the first half of October that we have seen him, in Stoltenberg.
